Mongoose! Posted September 28, 2014 Posted September 28, 2014 I wonder what the reason for the fast sell out can be? Better marketing/ Argus growing in popularity?More cyclist?Better economic environment? Too many PPA members
Six13 Posted September 28, 2014 Posted September 28, 2014 There was. You missed it two weeks ago.I've done 15 consecutive and didn't get a preferential entry! Not everyone got the email invitation
TALUS Posted September 28, 2014 Posted September 28, 2014 I wonder what the reason for the fast sell out can be?Better marketing/ Argus growing in popularity?More cyclist?Better economic environment?Road closure. Festival atmosphere. History. Good organisation. Great reason for a weekend away. The mythical chance for good weather. THE SUB 3. ..
Nuss Posted September 28, 2014 Posted September 28, 2014 Hey, we're riding on the same team! I signed up on wednesday through Sabrina Love, no stress, no queue. The only thing is: I need to buy a Racetec chip, but they put my nationality down as SA which I'm not. Send them an a-mail but no reply yet.Very excited to be coming to SA.Awesomeness! I am sure you cannsort out all of that when you pick up your race number the day before the race, they are always available. See you in March...!
Etienne Van Niekerk Posted September 28, 2014 Posted September 28, 2014 AAAAAAAAnnnnnnnnnnddddddd I missed an entry will hopefully be able to get an entry with a ride for a purpose group. Anyone know of any charities that I can ride for? really sad I couldn't get an entry.
mulmi Posted September 28, 2014 Posted September 28, 2014 They are already wanting to buy entries on gumtree. Blackmarket entries will be hot next time we can enter.
eddy Posted September 28, 2014 Posted September 28, 2014 The mythical SUB 3. .. Wakker word, die koffie is al koud

Anyone know of any charities that I can ride for? really sad I couldn't get an entry.A mate of mine entered late last night. Checked his racetec race page and he is in. Give it a try.
Wannabe Posted September 29, 2014 Posted September 29, 2014 Shame on you PPA ????????? MIssed out on my entry for 2015 Would be my 11th one - and 4th sub 3....lol Thought as I have done 10, there would be some kind of loyalty towards entries as in the past. It really sucks. Hierdie hele opset maak my naar!!! I've done 15 consecutive and didn't get a preferential entry! Not everyone got the email invitation PPA is not the organisers, the Cycle Tour Trust is...... I also did not get the invite, but remembering that we did previous years, I phoned the Orgs and enquired about it. The Lady took my details, 20 minutes my "invite link" was in my Inbox. Clicked on it, took me straight to the entry page with my name and all. 5 minutes later I was entered.Quick and easy.

I don't know. There will be THOUSANDS up for sale a month before the race.
WesleyR Posted September 29, 2014 Posted September 29, 2014 I've also done 17 Argus's, next year was going to be my 18th... didn't get any special link, and unfortunately I was in meetings the whole day. Woke up Sat morning early and everything was closed... :-(
dirtypot Posted September 29, 2014 Posted September 29, 2014 Contact the organizers and ask. I'm sure that they have set aside some 'extra' entries for cases like these. If you don't ask, you don't get!
